I managed to get a small quantity of the stainless steel ones but have now used them all so am investigating getting some made.

Strap lug replacement
The strap lugs on the 139 are made of brass with a steel insert to stop the soft brass being worn away. Unfortunately, the idea doesn't work that well and the steel inserts move and allow the brass to be worn away. Later cameras, such as the RX, have stainless steel lugs which don't wear.
I managed to get a small quantity of the stainless steel ones but have now used them all so am investigating getting some made. I would be interested to hear if anyone would be interested in purchasing replacement lugs (or having them replaced by me) so I can judge the potential use.
Please let me know if this is of interest. Now available. See later post.
